Instruction
1. The dog is afraid of dogs for two reasons: a shortcoming or total absence of socialization (the dog communicated a little or did not communicate with the relatives at all after it was taken away from a dung) and the endured negative experience of communication with other dogs. The situation can be corrected, but it is rather difficult. Show a maximum of understanding and patience.
2. Be engaged with a dog in the general course of obedience. You resemble the training platform. Training is necessary to come into close contact between a dog and the owner. In the course of training the dog understands that the owner – the leader, the leader. And near the leader the dog feels much more surely.
3. In the same place on the training platform the dog has an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with other dogs. Choose the quietest dog. Ask his owner to help you (will hardly refuse to you). Approach with the dog them. Iron foreign dog, treat. So you will let know to the pet that nothing terrible will occur if to communicate to this relative.
4. If your dog is too coward and tries to rest or escape at approach to other dog, tie her to something reliable. Approach other dog and actively with her play, stroke her. Then gradually with foreign dog you approach the closer and closer. But be not overzealous not to cast your dog into panic.
5. If at you is familiar with dogs, invite them to yourself home. Your dog, being in the territory it will be much surer. As soon as she shows interest in "guest", surely praise it and give delicacy.
6. During walks begin to accustom the pet to other dogs gradually. Try to walk closer to places for a dog walking and when there other dog lovers gather. But close you do not approach them yet. Let your dog see and hears presence of other dogs. At this time distract the favourite active games with his favourite toy.
7. Gradually reduce distance between you and walking. Ideally, if there is an opportunity, and your dog after all is on friendly terms with someone from tribespeople, walk together near walkings. The imitation complex is inherent in dogs. Seeing as his friend plays with other dogs, your dog will try to join sooner or later in a game too.
8. Do not react to manifestation of cowardice from your dog in any way. You are a leader! And in your opinion, nothing terrible occurs around. If you begin to abuse the dog or on the contrary will try to regret her and to calm – you only aggravate situation.
